Rack Slide Rails SCHROFF 27230184 short, 15 kg load capacity, 2-piece set

Short slide rails SCHROFF model 27230184 are a two-piece set engineered for mounting compact equipment in 19-inch server and network racks. The rails provide guided linear movement to simplify installation, maintenance and removal of devices in confined spaces. With a specified static load capacity of 15 kg, this short rail set is intended for smaller servers, storage units, network appliances and electronic modules that require stable support and controlled accessibility.

Advantages

These SCHROFF short slide rails offer precise guided movement and secure support while minimizing the required rack depth. The two-piece construction enables straightforward attachment to standard rack profiles and allows the mounted device to slide out for access without full disassembly. Corrosion-resistant finish and robust metal construction ensure consistent performance under repeated use. The compact design reduces intrusion into adjacent rack positions, preserving space for other equipment.

Suitable for

• Compact 1U–3U servers and blade modules with limited rear clearance
• Small storage arrays and network appliances requiring removable access
• Electronic modules and control units in telecom or industrial racks
• Laboratory or test equipment mounted in confined rack spaces

Key specifications

• Set composition: two-piece short slide rail set
• Load capacity: 15 kg (static)
• Compatibility: designed for standard 19-inch rack installation
• Mounting style: front and rear rack attachment with guided sliding mechanism
• Material: steel construction with protective finish for corrosion resistance
• Travel type: guided linear slide for partial or full extraction depending on rack setup
• Application environment: server rooms, network cabinets, telecom racks

How to use

Install the fixed rail halves to the rack vertical profiles at the intended height using compatible rack screws or cage nuts. Attach the sliding rail halves to the sides of the device following the rail alignment marks, then engage the sliding halves with the installed fixed rails. Verify that the sliding mechanism moves smoothly and that the device is supported fully at rest. When performing maintenance, slide the device out to the accessible position and secure it as needed to prevent unintended movement. Reinsert the device by guiding the sliding halves back into the fixed rails until they seat fully.

Usage recommendations

Confirm device weight does not exceed the 15 kg load limit and ensure even weight distribution across the rails. Use appropriate rack fasteners and torque settings for the rack type. Periodically inspect the sliding mechanism for debris or wear and lubricate contact points with a suitable non-corrosive lubricant if sliding resistance increases. Avoid exceeding rack depth constraints and verify clearance for cable routing before final installation.
